Our Parish Staff

Parish Administrator - Rita Caserta

For the last 19 years, Christ Church has been blessed with the services of a full-time parish administrator.  Along with maintaining the Rector’s schedule, the parish administrator maintains the parish calendar, meeting schedules, writes and produces the bi-monthly newsletter as well as weekly liturgical bulletins and special service bulletins for weddings and funerals.  Although not a member of Christ Church, the parish administrator has ministered to almost every member of the congregation.

Choir Director/Organist – Joel Lenderman

Our music program is one of the threads that bring us together during worship at the 10:00 a.m. Sunday Holy Eucharist.  The choir director/organist is a lifetime member of Christ Church and has been a member of the staff since 1994.  In addition, he teaches music at an elementary school.  He has been able to create the perfect blend of traditional, contemporary, praise and spirituals into our music.  We enjoy the children and youth choirs, youth chime ensemble and seasonal celebrations with full choir and brass accompaniment.  A spirit flows through our worship freely and occasionally spontaneous clapping will ensue.  We feel it is the Spirit of the Lord.

Preschool Director – Joanne Petrosina

Our director took the helm at our Preschool in July, 2006, and brings many years of experience in early childhood education.  She leads a dedicated teaching staff who have been able to maintain the programs that have made our Preschool one of the best in the area.

Sexton – Sean Seeney

The sexton is part time and currently a member of our Parish.  The sexton is responsible for opening and closing the Church on Sundays, cleaning up between and after services and cleaning after any special services or events.  The major cleaning is done under a contract with a janitorial service.  Any maintenance work or repairs, when requested, are directed by the property chairman.
